PTZOptics - PTZOptics Rise 4K

Rise 4K is the new high-end PTZ from the American manufacturer, designed to bring cinematic quality, broadcast connectivity and intelligent tools to productions of any size. At the heart of the camera is a 1" 50 Mpixel CMOS sensor, capable of capturing 4K Ultra HD video at up to 60 fps, with a 20× optical zoom and a horizontal field of view of approximately 70°, ideal for transitioning from wide shots to close-ups with maximum naturalness.

Phase detection focus, optical stabilization, brushless motors for pan and tilt movements, and a three-stage ND filter ensure stable, smooth, and perfectly controlled images in all lighting conditions.

Rise 4K is built for professional broadcast workflows: it includes 12G SDI, 3G SDI, HDMI, USB 3.0, NDI HX / RTMP / RTSP / SRT streaming, as well as 12G SFP+ connectivity compatible with fiber. It supports Time Code, Genlock, and FreeD, allowing integration into synchronized multi-camera systems, augmented reality, and virtual production.

The camera integrates balanced XLR audio inputs with 48 V Phantom power, recording, and on TF card, front and rear Tally, and comes with Horizon Web, the intelligent interface that offers advanced PTZ control, color adjustments, auto tracking, auto framing, intelligent presets, automations and professional tools such as waveform, vectorscope and RGB parade.
